I needed a little paint pallete to pour and mix colors, surprisingly I didn't find a very good selection here so I designed one I liked better

It has large and small basins to put your paint in and mix as needed as well as holes to hold brushes upright on the side. I was worried the bottom of these holes would be difficult to clean out so I made them hollow so you can run them under the sink to clean. In order to keep the table from getting paint on it I've also included a tray that the thing can sit on. You can also use this tray or print another to use as a lid to keep paint fresh if you need to take a break for a bit.

There is a tall version and a shallow version. The tall version will hold brushes better but takes longer to print and more material. The shallow version prints in half the time.

I've also added the design files so that if you need to modify something you don't have to reverse engineer it or sloppily convert an stl file. You can simply open it up in fusion 360, change a parameter and export back to a slicer.
